SOMEDAY WE'RE GONNA BREAK FREE FROM THESE CHAINS AND KEEP ON FLYIN'
Silence, it fills everything. Invading our personal space, clogging our lungs as we breath in and blocking our ears as we strain to listen to the void. It squirms beneath the surface of our subconscious, filling all the nooks and crannies of our surroundings and pushing down on us. Silence in as uncomfortable feeling. But some welcome it, Xavier Porterhouse being one of them.
Everyone had abandoned the common room hours ago, all leaving for their dorms and allowing the Sand Man to whisk them away into a dreamland, but not Xavier. He'd laid in bed, staring up at the cover on his four-poster, sleep evading him. After hours of listening to the deep breaths of his dorm-mates, the Slytherin slipped out of bed and made his way down to the common room, not bothering to pull a top on, comfortable in his deep green silk pajama bottoms. After all, who was going to catch him topless at this time of night?
Padding across the Common room, he drew his wand and re-lit the fire in the huge grate. His azure eyes followed as fresh logs landed on the glowing embers, igniting themselves and releasing a burst of light and heat. Instinctively drawn to it, Xavier made his way over and sat on the heath rug laid down in front of it, his bare back lent against the sofa close by.
His mind began to wonder as his eyes followed the flickering within the grate. It charged from subject to subject, classes and Professors who both bored and challenged him, all the way to his peers and 'friends'. If he was honest with himself, the Slytherin had no true friends, at least not yet. True, he was close to a few, but none he could say he could honestly rely on to have his back at all times. Sighing, he twirled his dark-wooded wand between his fingers, not even noticing that someone else had joined him until he heard them announce their presence.
